The SN4 just had another static fire, DM2 has been delayed until Saturday, and SpaceX have their FAA license for suborbital flight testing.
SpaceX insurance rates for Starship testing have just increased to two hundred million dollars.
China has announced their space station plans for the next few years.

If one of those concepts is logistically and technologically noncompetitive, it won't see actual use. People should not be trying to scramble and catch up to existing technology, they should endeavor to design and develop beyond what's already there.

The Adeline and >>11727906 are either partial-capability-matching inferior concepts or lateral clones of an already mature and functioning rocket. They're dead ends, because by the time they would fly, F9 would be getting phased out in favor of SS/SH.

ESA can't do that because they would lose their independent launch capability. Their best course of action would be to go full speed ahead towards reuseability where ever it may lead.

It's not a proven design just yet. It would be more rational and safe to peruse something with Starship capability independently.

This does bring up a notion- given that we know the unit cost of a F9 is about $15 million these days, Spacex sell those for a very reasonable price and still make comfortable profits. They could spin off the F9 manufacturing line into a side stream of income even after Starship is the only thing they launch- focusing solely on manufacturing and software and letting the customer worry about all the other logistics related to launch.

Let’s say I get a weather balloon and haul up a rocket payload then launch it from the weather when around the time the weather balloon would of popped . It might technically be hard because weather balloons aren’t the most steady things and it’s be hard to get it to stay still. Plus the time weather balloons pop is variable but still possible. You could get it up pretty high. You’d probably also have to do something to the rocket so it’s work effectively despite being in a weak atmosphere. I wonder how high you could get it. Has anyone done this?

ESA is and always will be, a follower, just like the EU. Everything the ESA does is derivative and reliant on approval of French and German decision makers. Smart national space policy for smaller nations is to specialize.

They are better then the surface and will be a big help psychologically as they would allow people to get out and move around. Obviously there would be large facilities on the surface too for launches. In all honesty though, we'll probably see a mix of surface and underground colonies.

We don't know that. That's part of the risk. If there are deep, smooth-sided lava tubes that are also somehow accessible, they might someday be able to inhabited. Shallow tubes like the ones we know exist are extremely dangerous due to collapse risks. Most lava tubes on Earth, excepting a few famous ones in Hawai'i, have vicious, jagged walls.
For both the Moon and Mars habitats, semi-buried engineered structures are the way to go. I prefer Superadobe but there are other good solutions as well.

That's a massive assumption but long answer short, NASA (and NOAA) have grown small amounts of greens like lettuce in LED powered grow chambers. Otherwise, dry and reconstituted foods will be the name of the game for a long time.

Sure thing! Dr. Khalili was an architect who took his native Persian building types and developed an earthbag building system that he called Superadobe for use under a NASA contract in the mid-80s for lunar bases. It forms natural pressure vessels and on Earth is impervious to fire and earthquakes. The technique is used by the military for refugee housing since it just uses sandbags and barbed wire. For space uses, the bags and regolith moving vehicles are all the need to be shipped from Earth. Even then, basalt cloth bags become a very nice option if they can be made in-situ. Some info is at CalEarth.org.

We need to stick a magnet in a certain place out in space first. This is difficult, but far from impossible even with current tech-a mere 1 tesla magnet would suffice, about the strength of existing MRI magnets. The effects would be staggering-within a few years, you could start walking around on mars in a heavy coat with a breathing mask instead of a pressure suit. The rad situation would also sharply improve as the now protected atmosphere regenerated.

This is a project to approach in earnest as we push on towards colonizing mars.

I think it's the most solid of the three for the mission specs laid out. The drop tank solution is elegant and shipping new ones with the cheap thrusters it uses is simple and cheap. Starship is too fucking big, but if the mission turns into a real fucking moon base on the ground with massive in-situ resource extraction, that's the natural choice.

But as Artemis stands now, Dynetics would be the natural choice in my opinion.

Amazing how we used to have the occasional anime poster since the inception of /sfg/ with minimal complaints and mostly functional threads, until this first crewed flight when a bunch of fucking homos showed up and shit all over the thread at the hint of an anime picture all the while claiming they have been posting on /sfg/ longer than anyone else.

The corn thing frankly sounds fucking retarded, agriculture is super resource and energy intensive, it's an unnecessary extra step which adds a substantial amount of time and complexity to an already complicated process. It is a good idea to figure out how to grow your food on Mars, but not one to make being able to construct buildings also inter-reliant on a steady supply of crops. Just use cork, it's cheap, light, can create stronger, lighter cements, and can easily be transported by heavy lift rockets in huge bulk.
